North Korea continues to develop nuclear weapons and evades UN sanctions that aim to cut off funding for Pyongyang’s nuclear and ballistic missile programmes, says UN’s unpublished report
North Korea has been under UN sanctions for its nuclear and ballistic missile programs since 2006.
The UN sanctions monitors said hackers working for North Korea's Reconnaissance General Bureau , its primary foreign intelligence agency,"continued to use increasingly sophisticated cyber techniques to steal funds and information.""Companies in the crypto-currency, defence, energy and health sectors were targeted in particular," they wrote in the executive summary of the report which is due to be published in the coming weeks.
The monitors reported continued illicit exports of coal and"a rich variety of sanctions evasion measures deployed by vessels delivering refined petroleum products to DPRK." North Korea also acquired 14 new vessels in violation of sanctions.
